our "family pc" has some troubles

it runs XP SP2
and 2 days ago we put skype on it, first day it ran ok
and then yesterday these started to pop-out when it was ran


then i checked even viewer, and got these:


PC was scanned with malwarebytes am, nothing was found, I removed previously installed vc++ redist 2005
and installed vc++ redist 2005 SP1 and 2010 SP1 (just in case), since errors were tied with MachineDebugManager

then since it mentions WUAUSERV i enabled win auto updates (altho it makes no logic to me), but still nothing was better

then I removed skype, and installed it fresh, again nothing
and this is the only app causing this mess

I don't know what else to do

any ideas ?

(we don't even mind the event errors, just those annoying popup errors for debug are pain in arse)

Does this help?

Also, maybe Skype needs VC++ 2008?

[vinifera]

for now it seems it worked, will give it 2-3 days then report back

also thanks alot !

It's amazing how IE can cause so much trouble

MDM (Machine Debug Manager) is an element of Microsoft Office and has nothing to do with Internet Explorer.

[vinifera]

it was not problem with mdm
but with ie's debug scripts

and skype seems to use IE components (you can hear its popular click sounds when it loads the frame)

[HarryTri]

How did you resolve the problem?

[vinifera]

believe it or not a MS article actually helped (linked in 1st link that submix8c gave)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321410

this:

Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click to select the Disable script debugging check box, and then click OK.

Well, it seems that it is an indirect way to deactivate MDM, interesting especially if it can deactivate other MS debuging applications too.

It's because IE is responsible for many system functions. The whole Windows Explorer interface IS actually IE.
